As one of the oldest scientific institutions in the United States, the US Naval Observatory has a rich and colourful history. This volume is, first and foremost, a story of the relations between space, time and navigation, from the rise of the chronometer in the United States to the Global Positioning System of satellites, for which the Naval Observatory provides the time to a billionth of a second per day. It is a story of the history of technology, in the form of telescopes, lenses, detectors, calculators, clocks and computers over 170 years. It describes how one scientific institution under government and military patronage has contributed, through all the vagaries of history, to almost two centuries of unparalleled progress in astronomy. Sky and Ocean Joined will appeal to historians of science, technology, scientific institutions and American science, as well as astronomers, meteorologists and physicists.

One beautiful, sunny day, two friends-Mikey and Natalie-admire the sky. Together, they wonder how the sky gets its lovely blue color. They decide to include their friend Tami, and the three of them head home to ask their parents. After seeking the answer from their parents, the friends are all confused. One parent says the sky is blue because it is the color of God's eye. Another says the sky is blue just like the color of the water in the lake. Who is correct? They decide to find that one answer by climbing to the top of the tallest oak tree. As they climb, they each go in separate directions to follow the various branches of the tree. When they return to the bottom of the tree, they are frustrated because they each had very different experiences, and there seems to be no one definitive reason why the sky is blue. An unexpected encounter with an old, wise man gives them the surprising twist to the answer they seek.

“Readers will cheer…a fast read that ends too soon.” —Kirkus Reviews Griffin must traverse dangerous new worlds if he hopes to save his father from a peril that threatens all of humanity in this fantastical novel from the acclaimed author of A Nearer Moon. Griffin and his father tend to their lighthouse on the craggy coast of Oregon with the same careful routine each day. There are hardly ever any visitors, but they like it that way. Which is why, when a group of oddly dressed strangers suddenly appears, Griffin begins to see just how many secrets his father has been keeping. He never imagined that his lighthouse contains a portal to strange and dangerous worlds, or that a Society of Lighthouse Keepers exists to protect the Earth from a fearsome enemy invasion. But then Griffin’s dad is pulled through the lens of the lighthouse into one of those other worlds. With his father gone, nobody from the Society is giving Griffin any answers, so he’s on his own. Armed only with a book of mysterious notes from his parents, Griffin is determined to find his dad, no matter what dangers lurk on the other side of the portal.
